History and Company Overview

U Haul was co – founded by L.S. Sam Shoen and Anna Mary Carty Shoen in 1945. The idea to form such a firm was borne out of the couple’s experience .

Sam was discharged from the Navy and tried renting a utility trailer to move their stuff from California to Oregon. But they failed to find one and they were left taking their possessions that could fit in their car.

The Shoens believed that there was an opportunity to make a business out of renting trailers. And so they decided to invest their $5,000 saving and 1937 Ford to start up the business. Together with their son, they thought of the name U Haul and the system for what would be their business.

In the summer of 1945, the family launched U Haul. Their first trailers were second hand, bought from private owners and welding shops. By the end of the year the company had experienced modest growth with 30 open trailers in Portland, Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver.

Eventually, the trailers were painted bright orange to establish an identity. Sales messages like “$2 per day ” and “Rental Trailers” were put on the sides of trailers. Trailer rentals were made available to customers at service station outlets.

But it was not easy for the company to become successful. The trailers were not exactly a model of efficiency as they broke down with regularity. The costs of repair more often than not were greater than the rental costs.

Before the turn of the 50s it was possible for customers in the United States to rent a trailer for a one way trip from one city to another. By 1955, the same was possible in many parts of Canada.

The company’s growth was spurred by a unique financing program called the Fleet Owner Program. Under the program, enterprising individuals could purchase a fleet of 30 or more trailers. The trailer owner would then outsource the operation of the trailer fleet to ARCOA, Inc. and share the income brought by the trailer rental.

The scheme was successful enough that by the end of the 50s, the entire trailer fleet of U-Haul would grow to more than 42,000.

Today, U-Haul has headquarters in Phoenix, AZ. It has more than 18,000 employees. Its slogan is “Moving Families to Better Lives since 1945.”
